[hider=Shadow][color=2e3192]Watching Iris only made him chuckle softly, "Ok, so you make a good point there. I'll give you that one." Then hearing she wanted a glass of water he filled the other empty glass with water and put it in front of her. Still watching her eat and drink and listening to her and everything else around them he started to think to himself and began to take in her features a little more carefully.

"Well that is true, but has the pack gotten to know the real you or the fake you?" Taking another sip of his glass it was his turn to almost choke, but finally gathering his baring's he sighed heavily and sat the glass down, "I had one long ago. However she died in the last war we had with our neighboring Vampires. She never wanted a fight really she wanted there to be peace amongst us. So despite the others and because of her sacrifice. I made a deal with the Lord of the Coven and we made peace. A few things didn't go my way, but a few didn't go his way either." Rubbing the back of his head he nodded, "Though your right. It is time I find me another mate. The issue is I'm picky. My last mate I chose because she was my best friend ever since I joined this pack. She always had my back and helped me train and grow stronger. Other than that I never thought of another because none knew me as well as she did."

[hider=Crimson][color=ed1c24]As Crimson entered the meal hall she heard Leopold's request and shook her head as she leaned against the frame of the door, "Don't you think you should do that in private, My Lord? I mean so it's not like your rubbing it in your followers faces?" Shrugging she pushed from the frame and walked past him and toward the kitchen as she spoke again and gently brushed some of her raven hair off her shoulder, "Though then again what do I care? It's really none of my business." Opening the kitchen door she stepped inside as Ban jumped into Leopold's lap and meowed at him.

Inside she watched as the servants got the girl Leopold summoned and made her a little more proper, but as she watched for some reason she grew angry and the fires of the stove began to react to her rage, "Crim, what has you so mad?" Hearing one of the cooks speak to her it brought her back to reality, "I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking." Shaking her head the fires died back down and a plate with two raw steaks were placed in front of her. Happily and hungrily she ate them then began to chew on the bone. Normally most would look at her as if it were odd, but she had explained to the cooks about her 'special' diet and they didn't mind it.

After some time had pass and she finished eating the meat and bones she sat sipping on a glass of tiger's blood thinking to herself about the book she was looking at earlier. "Ranks... However where does the Vampire line begin? Dracula is long since dead and most of those after him are too. So if I want to stop this war where do I begin?" The book she was looking at earlier was the Vampire's History book. Very old, but filled with everything she might need to know. Though then again there wasn't much of anything new it taught her.[/color][/hider]
